The 14 year wait for the Incredibles sequel was all worth it. Picking up where the first film ended, the superhero family aka The Parrs are forced to be integrated back to a normal life after the world banned superheroes for the wreck and havoc they caused after fighting villains. Bob Parr (Craig T. Nelson) aka Mr. Incredible, his wife Helen Parr aka Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their kids Violet and her brothers Dash and Jack Jack all felt disheartened but they can't do anything about it.
A glimmer of hope came from media-savvy mogul Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) who's a big fan of superheroes and hope to bring them back on the global stage. With his PR instincts, he feels that Elastigirl is the perfect fit to be the face of a superhero renaissance. She accepted it for the family thus relegating her husband Bob to be a stay at home dad taking care of their young kids. Deavor too has an inventor sister Evelyn (Catherine Keener having fun in her role) who's always behind his endeavors.
Together with family friend Lucius Best aka Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), it's fun to see him and Bob doing household duties and taking care of the kids. Moviegoers and fans of the first film will surely Jack-Jack's antics. Incredibles 2 came in the right time in Hollywood. It's all about women empowerment as the ladies in this animated film gets the best roles and the actresses (Hunter and Keener) gets the best lines as well. Fan favorite superhero costume designer Edna Mode (Brad Bird) is also in the sequel with one funny scene.
It's good to know that the director of the first film Brad Bird is back in the director's chair. With a smart script and entertaining characters, Pixar is back with it's best sequel since Toy Story 3.
